Advent Evening Retreat: Hope in the Midst of the Imperfect
Thursday, December 3, 6-8pm, via ZOOM
with Emmaus House
Register: For ZOOM link
Cost: $15
Facilitator: Kevin O’Donnell

“The Word became flesh and lived among us” (John 1:14) Into a world that may, at times, seem confusing, divided, and broken, God enters. With a people who may experience struggle, loss, and illness, God resides. Whether 2,000 years ago or the year 2020, this hopeful truth remains: God enters, God resides.

During this holiday season, when our lives and celebrations may be not as we hoped, please join us for a quiet evening of prayer, as we listen for God's gentle voice reminding us of our true hope: God enters, God resides...even in these apparently imperfect moments of our lives.

We transition from the busier autumn months into the Advent Season, please join us for an hour of contemplative music to still our minds and create the inner sacred space so we can receive the graces God desires for us.

In addition to the featured musical prayer, this service will include moments of silence, short readings, visuals to engage our senses, and an opportunity for those of us gathered to offer prayers of gratitude & petition for all that we hold in our hearts this Advent.

Praying with Scripture: “May it be done to me”

Leader: Patty Mayer and Randy Henderson

Our lives are changed when we open our hearts to the will of God. In the Gospel this Sunday Mary says yes to God’s will in her life. We all know that saying yes to God can create challenges in our lives. We see this in the Scriptures as Joseph learns about Mary plans to quietly divorce her, until his heart is opened as he listens to the words of the angel in his sleep.

Tonight we will sit with Mary and Gabriel as we quietly contemplate the joy and struggle of saying yes to God’s will in our lives.
